Middle school students say 'Boo to drugs!'
The Monroe City High School basketball tournament was only 30 years old when the teams of 1954-1955 made their mark in hoop history.
Members of the girls team included (back row) Coach Goldie Burkhardt, Carol Sue Redman, Mary Dee Ellis, Patty Watson, Ann Gillespie, Nancy Kent, Clara Stone, Dorothy Moyers, Carol Sue Shuck; (front row) Doris Murray Farrell, Barbara Massey, Shirley Woolfolk, co-captain Carroll Ann Gosney Hood, Phyllis Welch, Ruth Eaton Tadlock, co-captain Alice Jo Harper, Carol Marie Darling, Wilma Sullivan Kastner. Patricia Akers had a knee operation earlier in the season and was unable to compete. The team had a 13-9 record and took fourth place in the MHS tournament.
The boys team included Coach Billy Key, Garold Lewis Shuck, Charles Grubb, Mayes, co-captain Bill Reynolds, Jim Gottman, Jerry Burditt, co-captain Gerald Foreman, Richard Sparks, Harrel Wayne Timmons, Kenneth Sullivan, Eugene Mudd, James Dooley and Manager Robert Harris. They ended the season 22-8 and had a 13-game winning streak which was sparked by a 70-62 win over Shelbina in the finals of the Monroe City Tournament. They were Salt River Champions and took first place in the MC tournament and the Shelbina tournament.

Middle schoolers say it's too hot to do drugs!
Do you know who the oldest living male MHS basketball player is? We think it is Jack Jones, 1946 graduate of MHS. Today still, you’ll find him in the stands still cheering on the Monroe City Panthers. Today, we salute a decorated veteran, retired postal worker of 32 years, golfer extraordinaire, and community volunteer Jack Jones of Monroe City. In the Monroe City Sesquicentennial book, Jack states that “Monroe City is the only place to live.”

On Saturday, 10/26, the Monroe City Marching Band competed at Macon Band Day and placed 4th in the 2A category for both band and indoor color guard. It was a highly competitive day and both groups gave their best performances of the season, stacking up well against bands from all over Missouri.

Many of the early basketball teams were photographed by Monroe City photographer Belle Johnson. Her sister had attended the Monroe City Institute for four years and married local jeweler, Manning Walker. Not only was Miss Belle Johnson the recorder of Monroe City’s early history in her photos, documenting more than a half century, but she achieved national status in her chosen profession. She was a charter member of the Photographic Association of Missouri in 1894. Today, photographers continue to study her work because of her distinctive use of lighting. So during National Women's Month, we celebrate Belle Johnson, who also advertised in the early tournament books. Learn more about this photographer in this Powerpoint compiled by one of our 100th anniversary committee members.
ust a decade after Monroe City's first basketball tournament, the MHS boys' basketball team earned MHS a reputation of excellence on and off the court.
